Following his road-tour of "John Brown's Body," Ty lost no time in taking his wife, Linda, on vacation to Mexico, not merely for the pleasure of it, but to put aside, as well, the rumors that his touring around the nation, while Linda pursued her career in Hollywood and social life in New York, was not so much his desperate urge to return t o the stage as it was to separate from his wife and reflect on their marital future. Linda, who resumed her screen career with "The Happy time," is back in studio demand again as the result of her sprightly performance of the French maid. Her latest film is "Slaves of Babylon," in which, Ty proudly family present no problem for the Powers. Ty in no way interferes his film activities. Happily, they both enjoy the same group of friends and do much entertaining of same in their palatial Beverly Hills home. Both adore their young daughter, Francesca. She unquestionably, is the strongest bond between them. Ty is so fortunate in having a woman like Linda for a wife. She has loved him unselfishly, lived in her shadow, without subjugating her own sparkling individuality. She has made him forget his marriage to Annabella which turned out unhappily; also his rebound romance with Lana Turner which, after so swift and direct a start, floundered hopelessly. Linda, too, has encouraged Ty broadmindedly in his career, especially during that depressing period when, no matter how tirelessly and conscientiously he labored on films, none proved a box office success. Ty loves his Linda deeply. Yet he's devoted to his career as an actor. But it's a double life of which Linda, now living one of her own, naturally approves.
